  • “UK GRIM”

“Punk’s not lifeless!”

So goes the chorus for the previous 40+ years. Because it seems, punk has merely developed. Take Sleaford Mods, for instance. The English post-punk duo that includes vocalist Jason Williamson and producer Andrew Fearn are identified for his or her minimalist manufacturing and biting lyrics in regards to the state of British politics, working class individuals, capitalism and popular culture.

The duo has an “in your face” ethos that is not afraid to problem the established order, and their star has steadily risen over the past decade. On this session, Jason and Andrew speak about their newest album, UK GRIM.
